DUBLIN, Ireland -- Thousands of young French people are taking advantage of full employment, if not iron-clad job security -- not in France, but a little more than an hour away by plane in the capital of Ireland.

Dublin or all Ireland, I'm not sure?

The minimum hourly wage is $8.50 after taxes, and the unemployment rate is 3 percent.

Dublin must be teeming with people!

Ireland is becoming a melting pot!

Albanians, Polish, Arabs now the French!

What will be left to make the Irish Irish?

Yes, Incorrigible is right, Ireland is a melting pot - except now we have multiculturists promoting 'diversity' instead of integration.

A melting pot is alright. Makes for a good Irish Stew. A stew is everything together, nothing separated. Defeat diversity!

Defeat diversity!

I mentioned the Tinkers in my ping - thanks to 'Equality' laws, they have de-assimilated from Irish society, what was once a sub-culture within a culture is now a kind of mobile ghetto!! LOL

More attention ought to be paid to the economy of Ireland. If the French among others are going there for the same type thing as the USA southern border, it is notable.

Wrong flag for the Republic, but I like it anyway.

I just finished re-reading the legend of Deirdre of the Sorrows... a very good version by Edward Rutherfurd.

It's a nice flag - just it's not representive of the Protestant/Anglo-Irish section of Irish society.
